L'Heure Bleue was supposed to be the highlight of our Moroccan holiday. It was by far the most expensive hotel of the four we stayed in, and we were looking forward to the luxury. However, we felt disappointed - although the building is beautiful and clean, the room was so tiny as to be comic. The service, while attentive, was... more

Heure Bleue - both the hotel and staff were truly first class. Their attention to detail was incredible, each evening the staff closed our shutters & curtains and lit scented candles to await our return to our room. The roof top terrace was an idyllic hide-away from the bustle below. Every detail was thought of - the manager of the... more

L'Heure Bleue is an oasis of calm and tranquility against the bustle of the nearby Medina in Essaouira, a world heritage town overlooking the Atlantic. Although it looks and feels much older, this colonial style residence is less than five years old. The central courtyard is delightful and follows in the Muslim tradition of providing a clear shaft of daylight... more

I have very high expectations with boutique hotels, having stayed in some of the best. This was our honeymoon and some of the reviews worried me. However I went with it and, although expensive for Morocco, it was an amazing stay. The basic rooms (c300 euro) are small but cute - however the air con was not working so we... more

This was our second choice to stay so we decided to check it out by visiting the bar. The bar had the atmosphere of a funeral parlour, very dark with horrible music and 2 mojitos cost £24 (yearh I know you expect that in a 5* but that's pretty pricey for here!!) Glad we did not stay here!! more

After several days at La Sultana in Marrakesh, this hotel was a great disappointment. Our room itself was lovely, but next to the linen room with a very squeaky door which the housekeeping staff were in and out of from early in the morning to well into the evening. A request to oil the hinges was ignored. The air-conditioning in... more

We entered and the first impression was "wow" the hotel is beautiful, it gives you a real feeling of being in africa, until ofcourse, you meet the people that work in there. A smile was never shown, they made several mistakes with the reservation, then they gave us the "africa" room that had no difference with a room at a... more

This is a beautiful property in an average town with poor service and few redeeming features to warrant a visit here. Positives: 1. Lovely property that is stylishly decorated in colonial style. 2. Good breakfast, served in a beautiful central courtyard. 3. Roof terrace staff helpful and attentive. Negatives: 1. No air conditioning (there is a thermostat in the room,... more

This was the last of 4 hotels that we stayed at during our 12 days in Morocco and the experience was very disappointing. There is no doubt that the food in the dining room is excellent but that doesn't make a great hotel. The experience of checking in was the worst of the 4 hotels - we were told "you're... more
